Diamonds

Diamonds are graded on the famous 4Cs — cut, colour, clarity and carat — but understanding how those factors translate into a real resale figure is where many sellers come unstuck. This category explains diamond grading in plain English, explores how the resale market differs from retail prices, and offers expert advice on selling diamond rings and loose stones for the best possible price. We look at what certification means, why two similar-looking stones can be worth very different amounts, and how to present your diamonds to a buyer. If you are ready to sell, our sell diamonds and gemstones service brings an expert valuation to your door.

To get to grips with grading, our guide to selling a diamond ring and the 4Cs is the ideal starting point, while what happens to your old diamond offers reassuring insight into the process.
